The inspection log showed that it had been run under load on 3/2/17. The high water float was pulled, and the audio and visual alarms functioned properly. The telemetry call could be heard at the pump station, but the call wasn't received over the phone. The operator reset the Verizon modem and the call was received. He said they would start resetting the modem during their inspections. This will need to be resolved, if the problem occurs again.

JAY ZIMMERMAN Utmctor A review has been conducted of the self -reported Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO's) 5-Day Report/s submitted by Stanly County. The Division's Mooresville Regional Office concludes that the Stanly County violated Permit Condition I (2) of Permit No. WQCSD0419 by failing to effectively manage, maintain, and operate their collection system so that there is no SSO (Sanitary Sewer Overflow) to the land or surface waters and the SSO constituted making an outlet to waters of the State for purposes of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1), for which a permit is required by G.S. 143-215.1. The Mooresville Regional Office is providing the Stanly County an opportunity to provide evidence and justification as to why the Stanly County should not be assessed a civil penalty for the violation(s) that are summarized below: Total Vol Total Surface Incident Start Duration Vol Water Number Date (Mins) Location Cause (Gals) (Gals) DWR Action 201700113 1/23/2017 1,800 Airport PS #1 Inflow and Infiltration, Pump station equipment failure, Severe Natural Condition 20,000 . 10,500 Notice of Intent 201700183 1/3/2017 465 .

Resources 610 East Center Avenue, Suite 301, Mooresville, NC 28115 704-663-1699 This Notice of Violation / Notice of Intent to Enforce (NOV/NOI) is being issued for the noted violation. Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A, a civil penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) may be assessed against any person who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements. of any permit issued pursuant to G.S. 143-215.1. -- This office requests that you respond to this Notice, in writing, within 10 business days of its receipt. In your response, you should address the causes of non-compliance, remedial actions, and all other actions taken to prevent the recurrence of similar situations. The response to this correspondence will be considered in this process. Enforcement decisions will also be based on volume spilled, volume reaching surface waters, duration and gravity, impacts to public health, fish kills or recreational area closures. Other factors considered in determining the amount of the civil penalty are the violator's history of non-compliance, the cost of rectifying the damage, whether the spill was int `ional and whether money was saved by non-compliance.

This review has shown North Stanly to be in violation of the requirements found in Collection System Permit WQCSD0419 and/or G.S. 143- 215.1(a)(1). The violations that occurred during May 2009 are summarized in Attachment A. Remedial and corrective actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to prevent further SSOs. As of December 1, 2007, any reportable SSO may be issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) and some may be assessed a civil penalty. Civil penalties will be issued for SSOs based on volume, volume reaching surface waters, duration and gravity, impacts to public health, fish kills, and recreational area closures. Other factors considered in determining the amount of the civil penalty are the violator's history of spills, the cost of rectifying the damage, whether the spill was intentional, and whether money was saved by non-compliance.

Penalties may also be assessed for any damage to the surface waters of the State that may result from the unpermitted discharge. The SSOs noted in Attachment A under violation action as "Proceed to NOV " are overflows that the regional office has determined, after review of the CS-SSO 5-day report, that may result in a civil penalty assessment. You have 15 days from receiving this Notice of Violation letter to provide any additional justification for the identified SSOs as to why these spills do not meet the criteria listed in this letter for civil penalty assessment.

This sanitary sewer spill occurred as a result of the malfunction of an air release valve on a pressurized collection system. An estimated 1500 gallons of wastewater was spilled onto the ground near the roadside. None of the discharge from the collection system reached any surface water. There was no damage to the surrounding area in the vicinity of the spill. A spill of this type has not been documented in this collection system or any part of the Stanly County Utilities collection system for more than seven years, which is my tenure with Stanly County Utilities. Given these circumstances Stanly County Utilities request that no penalty be assessed as a result of this violation. If additional information or explanation is required, please do not hesitate to contact me at (704) 986- 3691. Sincerely, Donna L. Davis, Director Stanly County Utilities
